Maia and sleep
Mood:  chatty
Topic: Maia
The poor dear. She's begun manipulating us about sleep. I was willing to accept it at four five or even six a.m. However, she absolutly is not coming there when she first goes to sleep. I'm sure in her mind she's thinking why not I'm allowed there if I wake up. How about if I just don't go to sleep? *S*

So last night we had the heart breaking task of trying to get her to sleep through the night in her own bed.

Poor hubby just cannot stand to see her that upset. Where as a year ago I couldn't stand to see her that upset. IMO she was just much too young to be left alone to cry it out. Now, at twenty months and kicking me in the back, I don't care. Scream and kick until you are blue in the face, you aren't coming back to my bed.

So that's what we did last night and that poor baby. Rick, finally got so upset he said he would put her to sleep and it took him a while but she finally went to sleep. And was back in our bed at four thirty this morning. But from 10 to 4 30 she was sleeping. *S* It's a start. But, I figure the only way to combat this is to teach her to put herself to sleep at night. Sad, hate watching her have to go through this but, I have to do what is best for her first.

Hopefully, this works soon.
